Today I tried to purchase a Atomix for $99, even though Home Depot said they had them in stock, they didn't. Three different store had Inventory for the Atomix, but none actually had them in stock. So I complained nicely to the manager and she said I could pick out the drill that was similar to what I was looking for and I could have it at the same price as the Atomix. So, I went and showed her the XR with a 5ah battery, not knowing it was a lot more expensive, which was $179. She said no problem and took $80 off the price. Home Depot may have the worse Inventory tracking but they are keeping me as a customer.

Lucky me my work has atomics
I look at videos like these from time to time to pass the time. Each time I'm glad I went with the XR series. I have a 1/2 impact, 1/4 impact, and the 1/2 inch chuck brushless drill non hammer model. I wanted to keep all the tools from the same line and the XR series seemed like a good choice. I also now know if I ever need to drive an 8 inch plus lag in, I'll grab the half inch impact. I'm a big fan of battery powered tools, they definitely have their place and suit my needs better than air or corded tools. My next one will most likely be the angle grinder and circular saw.

I have had the XR impact and drill for awhile and they are awesome.
Just got a combo XR deal at lowes with the drill driver dcd791and the dcf887 and I couldn't be happier. I started out my electrical apprenticeship with an extreme series 12v impact and driver, the XR is definitely a huge upgrade but the extreme still has their uses as they're super lightweight!

@@ManCaverTools Agreed! I like the atomic drill for light work. Its so compact and light that I usually have no reason to go dig up my smaller makita (10.8v). The atomic set at aroun 150 is a great entry level set and makes brushless affordable. I think the m18 set is a good option too, but if someone's already in the dewalt line, the atomics are great light duty tools

I use the Atomic line hammer drill. For the price and the compact design. It's perfect for most drilling tasks. Good clutch for delicate tasks such as installing door locks. Compact enough to use it for car detailing with a drill brush. It's no where near as powerful as the $300 XR hammer drills with the metal gearbox, metal chuck, etc. You can feel the quality difference. It still has it's uses for the $150 price point. I have no complaints. It has paid for itself with the money it has made me. Belt hook is great on ladders. Good choice for dual carry with holsters when you need two guns on a ladder to save time.
Hilti Makes some nice Concrete Anchor Insert bolts, instead of using an impact wrench I simply used the 887 with a 3/8 adapter for a 1/2 socket instead and that works far better than an impact wrench at that size which is very typical connected to a 3/8 threaded rod.

Hi, The DeWalt DCF887 1/4" impact is a pretty good impact. Like i mentioned before i use both brand (DeWalt & Milwaukee). I guess there's a lot of mix feeling and some bad batch of DeWalt DCF887 and Milwaukee gen 3 - 1/4" impact. On VCG TTR and other comparison videos they hada few that started to burn up. Plus a few youtubers had the same issue. I had mine and it never burn up or given me any problems. I also have my milwaukee gen 3 1/4" impact and it also works great. No colet issue like some people are having and also Vince at VCG is having. Again a bad batch. This just proves that issues do happen to all companies. Funny how both company haven't mentioned or stated that they address the issue. They both are quite or hoping people can forgive and forget. Or maybe they solved the problem but don't want to bring it up. Either way I'm very happy with both brands. Yes one is better then the other but each company has tools better then the other. Thanks for making time to make this video..

HVAC AE, yeah that's true I agree. But as a Carpenter, Framer and Deck Builder I wouldn't use Impact Driver for that kind of task regardless of Brands. For 1/2", 9/16" and little bit bigger diameter lag bolts I would use my Mid-range DeWalt DCF894 Brushless 1/2" Impact Wrench for a much larger Fasteners, like Post Lag bolts especially for concrete or much bigger hex fasteners I would use my Ingersoll Rand 1" Pneumatic Impact Wrench (the one that mechanics are using to take out Semi Truck's Wheels) why I still have Pneumatic tools?? Because those are the ones that I don't use most often. You don't need cordless battery operated tools IF you don't use them the most. Common sense and you can save tons of money for buying tools. And for impact drivers? As long as they it can drive 3-1/2 deck screws or as long as it can drive 8" Timberlok or Spax power lag screws you'll be alright.

It depends on the type of job I think. I’d want the atomic as my main work horse because it’s lighter and more compact which helps your arm from getting tired. I’m hanging joists for my storage shed loft which means tighter spaces and having to hold the drill upright to get the screws in. I much prefer the atomic for that. However once I start screwing the plywood down the XR might be better because I’m pushing down and have more clearance. I think for most regular jobs the atomic is what I prefer. It’s nice to have the power of an XR but you pay for it with weight and size. If you don’t need the extra power then it’s not worth it. Smaller and lighter is better in my opinion.
I have both tools. Even tho the XR has a ton more power I usually keep it on speed 2. Which makes about the same as the Atomic.

Were both batteries brand new, at the same temperature, and able to hold the exact same capacity? Unless you did a detailed battery diagnostic ahead of time the only fair way to compare the two impact drivers head to head would be to run the exact same tests but with the same two batteries swapped (recharged of course) and then average the time each test took.

I guess they weren’t too happy with the performance. I love your reviews because I feel like you give everything a fair shake. And if something sucks you don’t hesitate to say it or make excuses for the tool sucking. I remember you did a video calling out a couple of Ryobi tools for sucking.

Is the xr brushless?
Is the XR better because it has a 3 speed switch, as opposed to the variable speed trigger on the automatic? It's interesting to learn how much difference the different batteries make to the power output. Good video, thanks.

I have had DeWalt 20v XR stuff since 2014. I used and abused my 886 impact daily for all that time, and finally the trigger started acting up. I loved it the whole time but didn't invest further in DeWalt because I feel like they're not innovating or improving their designs. The head/top of the impact drivers are the same size as they were in 2014, and the newer models like the 887 have been known to burn up under heavy use. I ended up getting a Makita xdt14 to replace the 886, it's tiny and has more torque and even better modulation of the trigger. I really think DeWalt needs to step and give us more compact, and more torque in impact drivers especially, as the high speed/low torque combination isn't ideal for larger fasteners. I would argue that they were the best 2013/14 had to offer but it's been a long time.. Any thoughts?

Makita is a good brand as well. and I thank you for viewing Master
For the big lags, I would have slapped a battery on the DCF899 and be done with it! Very similar/identical tools with different software. I own the dcf887 and the dcf899.

Do Atomic and XR Tools use same 20v XR batteries?

yes they are
It's meant for everything but commercial framing. I'll take a little less power for less weight and more real-estate in my tool pouch being a commercial technician.

I mean atomic
I think the DCF809 is just underpowered for what it’s supposed to be. I personally don’t own the 809. I use the DCF887, which, in my opinion, is just better, regardless of the issues this model has had in other tool test videos.

the Xr is a very powerful impact and thank you Zach
got the wrong atomic should have compared the xr version of the atomic it has 3 speeds and its smaller also
I'll take my Dewalt 12V Xtreme over that Atomic all day , it has almost as much power in a smaller / lighter package . Watch VCG's video on the Xtreme vs Atomic. I also have the XR and its a BEAST , I usually only use it on decks and stuff and I usually use it on #2 because #3 can be a bit hard to control , it just wants to bury the screws all the time...✌ Be Safe....😷

@@ManCaverTools its not the batteries that upset me. Its the fact that the combo kit box says XR but the drill and impact are the reg. Ass 20v max. But the saws are all XR. The 1.3 batteries are not worth caring about i agree. But it came w the slightly better 2.0ah ones. They didn't false advertise that. Oh well. Lowes never noticed a thing when I bought the XR impact and hammer drill. Put my regular Ass 20v max n the box and got my loot back. Score 1 for the hometeam
